Aston Villa monitor Endrick as Emery targets late attacking reinforcements | OneFootball

Aston Villa are monitoring Real Madrid forward Endrick, with Unai Emery keen to strengthen his attack before the window closes.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the 20-year-old Brazilian could be made available for loan, and Villa are among the clubs to have registered interest.

Endrick has found minutes hard to come by since arriving from Palmeiras two years ago, but impressed on loan at Lyon in the second half of last season.

Emery is reshaping his forward line after the departure of Morgan Rogers, while club-record buy Johan Manzambi is at risk of missing the Premier League start with a knee injury.

Leon Bailey is close to completing a move to Hull, and Villa are prepared to consider offers for Evann Guessand and Tammy Abraham.

Another striker will be sought should Abraham depart. Villa could also add a winger after bringing in Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea on loan.

A deal with Atletico Madrid for left-back Matteo Ruggeri is close to being agreed. The Italian will replace Lucas Digne, who has joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Emery’s side face PSG in the European Super Cup on Wednesday and will fly to Salzburg on Tuesday afternoon. The squad has been bolstered by the return of Ollie Watkins, Ezri Konsa and Emi Martinez following the World Cup.
